Yesterday's term was emolument, which is defined as:
n. salary, wages and benefits paid for employment or an office held.
Unfortunately, no correct guesses this time around.
Today's term is:
scrivener.
Good luck and no dictionaries!

A scrivener is a scribe, no? I recall the concept of errors being chalked up to "scrivener's error."
Posted by: Damin J. Toell, Esq. | February 03, 2006 at 10:27 AM
Perhaps a scribe is a scrivener or vice-versa; but I think a scrivener pertains more to dudes who specifically drew up legal documents, as opposed to those who generally scribed things. Perhaps scriveners were precursors to lawyers -- once they started keeping copies of what they wrote and realized they had the forms!

Scriveners are copyists. They don't apply the law, give advice, or represent clients. At least they shouldn't...
